Waiting for Spring

I am so tired of the snow here in Michigan, this lovely stamp Daisy Floral from Scrolls Work Stamps will hopefully chase the snow away.  I used the Level Up technique from my Technique Junkies Newsletter, I really like the effect.  I used my Tim Holtz embossing folder, paper scraper tool and Frayed Burlap distressing ink.  The paper has some real pressed flowers in it.  I used a little Tattered Angels Wheatfields glimmer mist.  I colored the large pearls with my markers and the lovely Alexandria (Pale Yellow) lace is from Pizzazz Aplenty.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Yoko and Suki

I made this 5 x 7 card using Scrolls Work #6539 Large Yoko and Suki and  #4544 Zenigata Fountain rubber stamps.   I stamped the images onto vellum and colored the underside to give it a softer silk screened kind of Asian look. The bg paper underneath is Susan Godfrey Winter Wonderland digi paper which is muted by the vellum.  I am really pleased with the results. 
I found a wonderful online shop called Pizzazz Aplenty this week.  Judy has a wonderful assortment of beautiful, high quality lace, ribbons and bling of all sorts!  I bought 30 yards of satin ribbon, 5 yards of lace, 9 yards of pearls on a cord, 9 yards of trim on the spools, 3 yards of gingham, 100 rim stones in 2 colors, 100 purple rhinestones and a 2 gel pickers.  All this for only $20.55 including shipping!  Everything arrived within 2 days of ordering, and not only did I receive the Special of the week (5 packages of Cranberry rhinestones) but also some samples of some of her other stones.  Thank you Judy for the excellent service and prices along with all the extra special goodies you included.  Everything was packaged beautifully, I'll be sure to come back again.
All of my goodies shown above.
The very generous freebie included with my order below.

Seasonal Pointsettia

 Sorry I was not around to wish you all a Merry Christmas, I had some major computer/internet issues that kept me away.  I didn't keep me from making some cards though.  I love this Poinsettia image from Scrolls Work Stamps, (check out the 1 Year Anniversary Sale that starts today) it is so versatile.  It is actually a block of 4 that I cut my flowers from.  The card is a 4.25 x 5.50 , not my usual 5 x 7.  I used the sketch at Cardabilities for my layout inspiration and I used the Technique Junkie technique for acetate flowers.  Paper is one of my favorites Uptown Houndstooth.

I've got the moon on a string.

 
I hope you can get the idea of this card from the photo's.  The Santa Moon is wound up by twisting it in circles about 15 times so that when you open the card he will spin.  I used the cute Santa Moon and Seasons Greetings stamps from Scrolls Work.  I stamped the Santa Moon once on white card stock and again on clear acetate with Stazon black ink.  I used the back side of the acetate image so I could flip it in the other direction.   I colored in the skin tone on the front and back of the white cut out so it shows through the acetate.  I have a piece of fishing line secured with Zots going from the top inside if the card, through the moon and then underneath the foil which was embossed with a Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder.  I used Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Large to cut both the opening and the top of the foil.  I heat embossed the Seasons Greetings inside the card.  I used Stickles Silver to trim the scallops and the star.

Lady Flourish Silhouette

I wish you could see this IRL, it has a lot of sparkle and dimension that I could not get the photo to pick up.  The gorgeous image is Scrolls Work image # 2557 Lady Flourish Silhouette #1.  I stamped her with Adirondack snow cap white and heat embossed with opaque silver powder onto Night of Navy cs.  I used the Spellbinders Impressabilities Snowflake to dry emboss the silver foil cs and added rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes.  I trimmed the image in Stickles silver, blue and black.  The ribbon was a wide one that I trimmed down to this size.  The layout is from a sketch at Waltzingmouse Stamps that I found on Allison's Stampin When I Can blog.  Be sure to stop by the Scrolls Work blog to see what the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer have made.

Global Holly Shaker card

 I've been working on this card for over a week now, trying to get it to look like the vision in my head.  The minute I saw this gorgeous Scrolls Work image of Holly I knew I wanted to make her into a shaker card snow globe. That took quite a bit of engineering, I'm so glad I persisted.  The finished size of the card is 5 x 7.  I stamped her in black Stazon ink on to the gold card stock and the clear acetate.   I colored her in on the back side of the clear image so it did not cover up all of the detailed shaded lines in this stamp.  Then I added a circle of doubled up foam mounting tape to the back of the acetate image then added the snow and the front of the acetate card.  I trimmed and mounted the gold cs on top of that.  That's when I decided to color in her skin, so I stamped her again on to white cs and cut out her arms and face.  I had already closed up the globe so I added these pieces to the back of the clear card which really gives her a neat dimensional look.  Then I added some light blue cs to look like the sky and a darker blue to match her dress and frame the card.  So the layers are gold, clear, foam tape, snow, clear, arms and face,clear, light blue and dark blue.   The Christmas bulbs were made with a punch, 1large whole circle of foiled cs, and the glittered adhesive cs was made by aiming the punch to only cut a sliver of circle at a time which gives it the nice curves.  I also cut the circle in the gold cs with my Nestie.  I hope you stop by Scrolls Work to see all of their gorgeous unmounted rubber stamps.

Isn't she a doll?

 This card was so much fun to make!  This sweet new Scrolls Work image Rachel reminds me of one of my childhood dolls.  I found myself dressing her up, just like I dressed my dolls.  I guess that's why she just had to have the fur trim on her hat and coat.  She has so much detail I barely had to color much, she already had the beautiful shading.  I stamped her with Memento Rich Cocoa also available at Scrolls Work and colored her in with a red Bic marker.  The beautiful Gothic Arched banner was a freebie from Altered Artifacts.  The paper is Websters Home for the Holidays printable.  I chopped up a feather to get the fur effect and I cut the leaves out of a duplicate sheet to give it a more dimensional look.  Rachel has some dimensionals under her to make her stand out, as if she doesn't do that all on her own.  I hope you like her, because I think she needs to be seen in her navy blue coat also, lol.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Trick or Treat

I just had to show the inside and outside of this card, it measures 4" x 9" and has a pocket inside where you can tuck in a Hershey Bar or a Halloween treat certificate.  The adorable Treaters are from Scrolls Work  Halloween collection, along with the Large Corner Web and Trick or Treat sentiment.  I used Stazon ink, Spellbinders Grand 12" Classic Lace Border, Shapeabilities Fancy Tags on the inside and  Labels 8 Nestabilities on the front.  I embossed with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folder.  The card stock is DCWV , Stampin Up and vellum.  I used a little Crystal Effects on the spider and lots of dimensional foam all throughout, I love that stuff!  Stop by the Scrolls Work blog and see the awesome work my DT sisters have to share with you too.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Spooky Halloween Lantern

























I had so much fun making this lantern, I had to show you all 4 sides!  I changed it around enough times, lol.  I would just look at it and  decide it would look so much better if......  revisions, there were a lot of those.  But I am really glad with the final outcome.  I used 4 Scrolls Work Rubber Stamps, House, Treaters, Haunted Moon  and Large Corner Web.  I stamped them with Stazon onto orange vellum.  The box was cut from gold foil card stock, I embossed it with Stampin Up Texture Plates Kit 4 Distressed.  I cut the fancy ovals with Spellbinders Labels 10 Nestabilities, I cut them twice, once to make the window, and then I cut them again with 2 dies to make a frame to stick outside the window.   I was loving how this was working out so instead of the lace top I had planned I ran up to JoAnns and found this awesome sheer ribbon that had some eyelash yarn and a mini garland tied onto it.  It didn't look like I thought it would, so off to my stash for the final revision, I found these awesome black purse beads to dangle off the top.  Not only did they give it the exact look I was going for, they were attached to a strip of seam binding that I glued to the inside of the lantern to give it a more finished look.  I photographed it with the tiny battery operated votive candle inside, looks really cool in the dark.  Dimensions are 3" wide (per single side panel) x 5 1/2 inches tall.  I have seen this done with a small ticket punch, I can't remember where.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
